Review for Paul Hewerdine, Conveyancing ExecutiveI can’t recommend Paul Hewerdine highly enough. Throughout our entire process, Paul was absolutely brilliant. He answered all our queries promptly and thoroughly, giving us the confidence we needed at every stage. Even when things went down to the wire, he kept us calm, reassured, and informed, ensuring that we were always clear on where things stood.Paul’s attention to detail was impeccable, and he gave everything a thorough review. On completion day, we were praying that everything would come together, and thanks to Paul’s dedication and expertise, it did – he got us over the line.Overall, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for conveyancing and legal support. Paul is exceptional – professional, approachable, and genuinely dedicated to his clients.Sandra Gilmartin
